The new Massachusetts Child Support Guidelines went into effect January 1. They are causing substantial increases in child support in almost all cases. Many payors will see increases of "only" 20%, but some will see a tripling of their child support order, even when they are poor and the recipient is wealthy. In high income cases, the child support order for one child could exceed $50,000 per year.

Fathers & Families is bringing a lawsuit in state court to stop the new Guidelines.  To help challenge the new Massachusetts Guidelines in court, they need plaintiffs –people who are, or will be, affected by the new Guidelines who are willing to lend their names and their stories to the legal complaint.
